Self-Ligating Braces
Dr. Donna Panucci is always on the lookout for innovations and appliances that focus on patient comfort and convenience. Self-Ligating Braces is a technological breakthrough that is changing the field of Orthodontics in a big way. This advanced system helps create the brilliant smile that patients want, faster than traditional braces, and without the need for unsightly, unhygienic, and often irritating elastics, and ties. Self-ligating braces eliminate the need to have braces tightened, by using light, gentle forces, to coax teeth into form. They also give you the perfect smile without the discomfort normally associated with metal braces, and can reduce treatment time by weeks, and in some cases, months. It is easy to see why self-ligating braces are fast becoming the preferred choice among new patients of all ages.
Self-Ligating braces offer:
- Better Facial Proportion and appearance.
- Fewer office visits
- Greater comfort
- Shorter appointments
Why self-ligating braces are better
Traditional braces use unsightly ties and elastics. This older design puts unnecessary pressure and friction on teeth, which can cause irritation and slower treatment. Self-ligating braces are a clear, superior alternative. In fact, Panucci Orthodontics’ patients choose self-ligating braces over traditional, by an overwhelming 10-1 ratio.
Dr. Donna Panucci uses In-Ovation® self-ligating braces, which comes in two unique, attractive styles that are exceptionally comfortable.
- In-Ovation® R braces are small metallic clips, with a lower profile than other self-ligating brackets, and contain no elastic or metal ties. As a result, patients can expect less irritation, reduced plaque build-up, and less maintenance, overall.
- In-Ovation® C are small clear clips that are less conspicuous and offer all the same benefits as In-Ovation® R.
